grandma is 99

My grandma celebrated her 99th birthday this past weekend!  She is still in great health, lives alone and still drives her own car.  She is amazing.  We are so lucky to have in her in our lives.  She is a great example of a life well lived.

We had a big party and nearly all of her descendants were there.  The only ones missing were the Whitman kids, Karee who is in Russia, and Susan in Iowa.  It was a very fun weekend to visit with everyone, spend time with Grandma and enjoy being a family.

Grandma, Shirley Garvin Henricksen and her three sons, Paul, Skip, and Mike. I love my uncles.  They are the best!  When we were leaving  Ella said, "I like those uncles, they look like my Grandpa!"

Her three sons and their wives, Ellen, Karen, Debbie.

All the grandchildren and their spouses (clockwise). Janice (Aaron), Amber and Bob, Trish and John, Jake (Karee), Melanie and Dan, JD and Mona, Steven and Angie, Kelly (Ben), Lance and Jen, Grandma, April and Jeff, Tiffany and Marshall.

All the great grandkids - sorry too many names to remember, and then everyone.
